I found that using Multi-Shot on single targets was no longer desirable whatsoever since I wasn't marks. I did, however, use it when bloodlust was up and rapid fire and quick shots procced because holy damn autoshot itself was like a machine gun. So basically I'd squeeze off instant cast shots whenever they were up.

As far as spec, I removed 1 point from Frenzy because with 80% chance it was almost always active. I took the points out of Spirit Bond because it was less than impressive, let me explain...

Over the course of a 10 minute boss fight the spirit bond talent gave my pet roughly 8000 hit points. This is not exactly acceptable or even warrants the spending of 2 points into it. I am almost always grouped with a shadow priest that can heal that amount back to the pet 50x faster and if really necessary I will pull the pet back and mend it or bandage it. I decided instead to put the points into Handler which is basically a 4% boost in damage since it will miss less.

Using the Sunfury Bow I had no problem managing Serpent's Swiftness WITH the Quick Shots procs and weaving Steady / Auto with the occasional Arcane in between. I was not starving for mana so I wasn't too conscious on shot use or mana consumption at all. The one thing I have to get used to is not using multi shot on single targets. (Thats what I get for being MM for forever.) =) Also Effeciency vs Improved Hunter's Mark. I came to the conclusion that the 110 AP for the pet was not as important as it was for me to maintain my mana pool for constant steady shots because of long fights as a raider. Even with a Shadow priest it CAN become taxing on your mana pool eventually. Therefore, I chose to go with 5/5 Effeciency.

Raid buffed stats when I popped a flask, had elixir of major agi, onslaught, ravager dog, bom / bok / motw / etc. I had about 2800 RAP with about 26% crit and hit rating at about 136.

The other thing someone mentioned above was the importance of Mortal Shots vs Hawk Eye. In my opinion, the lack of 6 yards is noticeable, however, I would not even consider ANY build whether it be BM/MM/SURV without the inclusion of Mortal shots at max rank. It is absolutely a must.

Why did you use an Owl? Because I didn't have a cat trained. I had a wolf, owl from Sekketh halls, and a wind serpent. I didn't bring the wind serpent because Hydross is immune to nature damage on the nature phase. I didn't take the wolf because it's DPS isn't as high as the owl. But, I assure you, I now have a Cat. I might even level up a ravager when I have more free time.

I copied Polina's spec and changed it a little bit to get improved revive since I found it quite useful. I really believe animal handler is a must esp if you raid often. 4/5 Frenzy worked great for me.

I just wanted to clarify this part a little bit. Are you saying when you get bloodlust/rapid fire/quickshots stacked you STOP casting steady shot and just cast auto/arcane/ms, or you replace your steadies with arcanes and MS when they come off of CD? What I've been doing so far when I get my attack speed down to ~1.0 with stacked haste is just spam the everloving hell out of my steady key and try to keep up with my autos. Usually I clip a few, but I also fit a lot of steadies in, too.
